The U.S. cybersecurity agency CISA and the non-profit organization MITRE have published a ranking that provides information on the 25 most dangerous software vulnerabilities in 2024. The listed critical vulnerabilities are particularly popular with cybercriminals to:
- Compromise systems,
- steal data or
- applications.
“Organizations are strongly encouraged to review this list and use it to shape their software security strategies accordingly. Prioritizing these vulnerabilities in development and procurement processes helps prevent vulnerabilities at the core of the software lifecycle,” writes the U.S. counterpart to the BSI in its press release on the vulnerability ranking.
